VentureBeat has word that all or part of the PC edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is in the hands of pirates after being stolen from a warehouse. The explanation of what was taken is a little vague: "Evidently, pirated discs began to spread quickly after an employee at a shipping warehouse (run by a huge shipping company) in Fresno, Calif., stole one disc. Itís not clear how many full copies spread this way, as the disc that was stolen was apparently Disc 2 of a two-disk set for the PC. Security may have been too tight for the thief to steal the other disc."

But in that case we knew they were working on it.

I honestly think its because ep3/hl3 isn't interesting to them right now. And they are busy with those 3 other markets gabe said he wanted to enter, social, mobile, and MMO type stuff.
